Although this has already rather evolved on its own, I would like to make it an official request to turn Rannell, Auria's two-turn-old nephew, from a "prop" for his auntie's character into a character of his own. He's more fun to play than I thought he would be, and others seem to enjoy interacting with him.
Besides, there's nothing on this earth that can cause more trouble than a two-year-old. ::heh heh, go ahead, ask me how I know this::
History: Same as Auria's, essentially. He is the only son of her elder sister, and their entire family and the rest of their entertainment caravan were killed in the first Threadfall.
He is currently sleeping in his auntie's trunk at the foot of her bed in the girls' candidate quarters. This invites lots of tension between Auria and the others; tension of which Ranny is oblivious, of course.
Description: Rannell would be two, probably "going on three", judging by his ability to hold conversations, comprehend concepts and get himself into trouble. Ranny's on the baby-fat chubby side, very active, slightly tall for his age. He is also from a long line of dancers, and has an unusual amount of grace for a two-turner.
He has a thick, messy shock of longish curly sand-brown hair with golden streaks in it and huge green eyes -- like Auria's they appear to be too large for his face. He also has their family's trademark smallish nose and freckles, though his are pale freckles and harder to see than hers.
As their clothing are all left-overs and cast-offs from the Weyr lower caverns, Ranny tends to be dressed in clothes slightly too large for him, giving him a rag-tag look that is endearing and a bit on the "Little Rascal" side.
(Rannell's speech patterns, by the way, are modeled after those of his "owner's" own son when he was that age.)
Personality: He's a two-turner, what else can be said? He does go "abnormally dark" at times, and has nightmares about the death of his family. Many of his crying tantrums are due to insecurity caused by the experience, though it's sometimes difficult to tell those from normal toddler mood-swings. Before coming to the weyr and being introduced to firelizards, his moments of laughter were brief and few. Flitters seem to have helped him turn, or at least acknowledge the possibility thereof, the corner of his fears. Those fears are bound to crop up again at inopportune moments.
Pets: Rannell has been blessed by the companionship of an emerald green flitter whom he calls Fi'Wizzerd, or Wizzerd.
